Running Man Teases Ji Ye-eun's Mystery Admirer in Chaotic Office Episode

Running Man is set to deliver one of its most chaotic office-themed episodes yet, as the March 8 broadcast promises workplace drama, roulette-based punishments, and a brand-new romantic subplot that has fans buzzing. The episode, titled Run and Fun Company: Spin the Roulette, transforms the beloved cast into corporate employees fighting to earn performance bonuses while desperately avoiding overtime.

Ji Ye-eun's Mystery Admirer Steals the Spotlight

The biggest talking point heading into the episode is the reveal of Ji Ye-eun's male admirer lineup. The entertainer, who has become one of Running Man's breakout stars after gaining fame through SNL Korea and multiple variety appearances, will discover a mystery man who reportedly makes both Dex and Kang Hoon nervous. The identity of this so-called catfish man has been kept tightly under wraps, fueling intense speculation among fans.

Adding to the romantic intrigue, fellow cast member Haha reportedly claims he witnessed Yang Se-chan and Ji Ye-eun on a weekend date, sparking playful in-show dating rumors between the 41-year-old comedian and the 33-year-old entertainer. Their chemistry has long been a fan-favorite dynamic, and this episode appears to take it to a whole new level.

Ji Suk-jin's Desperate Overtime Escape

Veteran member Ji Suk-jin finds himself repeatedly targeted for overtime duty through the roulette wheel, leading to some of the episode's most memorable moments. In a bid to escape, the seasoned entertainer first tried an emotional appeal, declaring that he had a kiss date planned with his wife and simply could not stay late. When that failed to remove him from the target list, he unveiled what fellow members called the angtal challenge, a display of aegyo so dramatic it left his 30-year friend Yoo Jae-suk stunned.

Yoo Jae-suk's bewildered reaction reportedly became one of the episode's highlight clips, as the nation's MC exclaimed in disbelief at his longtime colleague's willingness to abandon all dignity to avoid working overtime.

High-Stakes Office Roulette

The episode's core game mechanic revolves around a roulette wheel that determines both incentive bonuses and overtime assignments. Members earn name stickers through various missions and can strategically place them on the overtime roulette, turning every round into a tense battle of wits. The ability to target specific colleagues has already set the stage for betrayals and unlikely alliances from the very first mission.

Yang Se-chan and Ji Ye-eun are also teased as introducing unconventional office characters that shake up the workplace dynamics, while Ji Suk-jin holds the top position as Director Ji despite being everyone's favorite overtime target.

The Run and Fun Company: Spin the Roulette episode airs Sunday, March 8 at 6:10 PM KST on SBS.
